Function nc::writev

source ·
pub unsafe fn writev(fd: i32, iov: &[iovec_t]) -> Result<ssize_t, Errno>
Expand description

Write to a file descriptor from multiple buffers.

§Example

use core::ffi::c_void;

let path = "/etc/passwd";
let ret = unsafe { nc::openat(nc::AT_FDCWD, path, nc::O_RDONLY, 0) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
let fd = ret.unwrap();
let mut buf = [[0_u8; 64]; 4];
let capacity = 4 * 64;
let mut iov = Vec::with_capacity(buf.len());
for ref mut item in (&mut buf).iter() {
    iov.push(nc::iovec_t {
        iov_len: item.len(),
        iov_base: item.as_ptr() as *const c_void,
    });
}
let ret = unsafe { nc::readv(fd, &mut iov) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
assert_eq!(ret, Ok(capacity as nc::ssize_t));
let ret = unsafe { nc::close(fd) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());

let path_out = "/tmp/nc-writev";
let ret = unsafe { nc::openat(nc::AT_FDCWD, path_out, nc::O_WRONLY | nc::O_CREAT, 0o644) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
let fd = ret.unwrap();
let ret = unsafe { nc::writev(fd, &iov) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
assert_eq!(ret, Ok(capacity as nc::ssize_t));
let ret = unsafe { nc::close(fd) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
let ret = unsafe { nc::unlinkat(nc::AT_FDCWD, path_out, 0) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
